Chapter 14—Early G. C. Committee Action on Tithe Funds for Church Buildings
At its meeting of December 28, 1889, attended by O. A. Olsen, W. C. White, R. M. Kilgore, E. W. Farnsworth and A. T. Jones, the General Conference Committee took the following action:HBTS 13.3
“A letter was read from a Sister Gillett, of Graysville, Tennessee, asking that they might be permitted to retain their tithes for one year to assist in building a meeting-house.
“On motion, it was voted that it is the sense of this committee that we do not endorse the withholding of tithes for such purposes under any circumstances.
“Second, that we promise the brethren at Graysville a donation to assist in building a meetinghouse.”—GC Committee Minutes, December 28, 1889.
